if had to drink from one brewery for the rest of your life which one and why? Sierra Nevada for me as they regular beers are superb and then their seasonal beers are just incredible. i think they are just a wonderful brewery who i just cannot fault.
Probably Great Lakes for me. I know they arent the sexiest, but dammit, they do such a great job with the straightforward beers they craft.
Hard to say. I would say RR to get my IPA, wild and Belgian love on but then I don't know about my stouts. Then my stout/porter faves lack sours and solid IPA's If there could be TWO to rule all, I'd definitely do a RR/Bells tag team . Variety is the spice of life anyway, isn't it!?
If I had to pick just one, it's Three Floyds. I enjoyed every beer I've tried... even styles I don't really care for.
Stone, SN, Lagunitas, and New Glarus are all well rounded from hoppy to stouts/porters and NG even has the fruity beers. I too would take Sierra if I could only pick one.
Both really good choices. Something about the in your face "hipster" gimmick with some of the PT folks at events have kind of turned me off. I'm pretty sure that I saw a PT guy wearing a bowler and swimming flippers. Really great beers though. For nationally available stuff it would have to be Founders for me - so spot on every time. Sorry Stone and Lagunitas - my liver still fears you too.
I was thinking Cantillon at first. After some thinking, definitely Hill Farmstead. Wilds, ipas and stouts/porters. I'm set.
1 brewery to rule them allThe title of this thread just gave someone at AB/InBev a boner.I'm sorry, but at first the title of the thread fooled me as to the content within and even though I don't work for AB/InBev (and the title didn't do anything for me) I'm going to say Goose Island.Their Belgians, Sister Series, Sofie, King Henry, BCBS (+ variants) as well as year round/seasonal beers are all pretty darn good for my tastes.I would be happy if all I had to drink for the rest of my days came (unlimited) from Goose Island.Cheers!
If you had asked me about a couple weeks ago, I'd have said Oskar Blues or Founders. But, 3 Floyds has assertively taken the crown for me. I wouldn't be disappointed with the other two (or Great Lakes for that matter). But, 3F has just really impressed me.
Jackie O's. (really the answer is probably Cantillon, but just in case I can actually tire of sours I went with someone with more diversity)
I'll go local and say Saint Arnold's... love Pumpkinator, Christmas, BB1 and Spring Bock, Winter Stout... and I like many of the others.
Founders, Bells or Russian River. I love RR, but they dont have a lot of the heavy and dynamics that both Founders and Bells do year round. However...I could drink Pliny the Elder everyday for the rest of my life and never get tired of it. Never had the Younger before anyone asks.
New Glarus. I do love Ballast Point, Alpine, Russian River, Moonlight & Central Water. But New Glarus takes the cake for supplying the ENTIRE STATE OF WISCONSIN with incredible beer. And for not selling outside of the state. At all. Ever. And for having a brewery like a mash-up of Old Time German, a Swiss Chateau & Disneyland.
I'm with you on keeping it local, so I'll go with the fitger's brewhouse, who's brewmaster happens to be the brother of town hall's brewmaster
